Main Ingredients- 1 packet of ramen (choose your favorite kind)
- 1 medium-sized potato
- 1 fresh egg
- 1/2 stalk of green onion, thinly sliced
- 4 perilla leaves, cut into thick strips
Seasoning and Broth- 1/2 cup of water (or add 1/2 cup more than package instructions)
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of ground perilla seeds
- 1/2 cup of water (or add 1/2 cup more than package instructions)
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of ground perilla seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the skin off one medium-sized potato. Then, slice it into approximately 1 cm thick pieces, fanning them out like wedges, and place them in a pot. Add 1/2 cup more water than the amount indicated on the ramen package instructions, and bring it to a boil along with the potatoes. Ensure the potatoes are cooked until tender.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling vigorously, add the ramen noodles and the entire soup packet. Gently separate the noodles with chopsticks as they cook to prevent sticking, and let them simmer. Allow the potatoes and ramen to meld together beautifully.
Step 3
When the ramen noodles are cooked through and begin to loosen, crack one fresh egg into the pot. The egg will add a wonderful creaminess to the broth as it cooks. Next, whisk in the 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of ground perilla seeds, ensuring there are no clumps. This will thicken the broth and add a nutty, savory depth.
Step 4
Finally, add the thinly sliced green onion and the thick-cut perilla leaves. These ingredients will provide a fresh aroma and vibrant flavor. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another moment to combine the flavors. Your delicious Gamjatang Ramen is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve hot for the best taste.
